Hornets trade pick to Blazers...

[NO-KG-AI]

That's a wonderful value pick for us, Arthur is a top 10 or so talent, he's athletic and he bolsters our bench really well.

Then we sell the pick to Portland.... what a total downer, selling our pick was depressing enough, but selling a talent like Arthur flat out hurts.

I'm saddened, cheap teams don't win championships.

Why did you make this move? Arthur was one of the best players in college last season. He won the NCAA Championship as the best player on the team. Did you guys see the Finals? He established himself down low and arguably controlled the game and set the pace from the get go. Terrible guys.. Not that the Knicks are a team to criticize though, you guys still rock with Chris Paul, Chandler, and West but this deal... damn. sorry guys.

The pick was sold before the draft, I bet they are kicking themselves now.

I actually feel sort of bad for NO right now. I'm a Blazer fan but love what the Hornets have done recently, but this time they could have really gotten a steal by keeping the pick. You guys shouldn't worry though, Hornets are still going to be awesome. Keep in mind the old Blazer management passed on Chris Paul, so at least you can hold that over the Blazers.

I will only feel good about this trade if Shinn gives the "cash considerations" to the fans. We just sold a guy that should have gone 10-15 for nothing.
